Acer Aspire 5 (A515-58M) review – snappy device with very good display and low price


In 2023, you can find a lot of affordable devices with Intel Raptor Lake U CPUs. The Acer Aspire 5 (A515-58M) can be configured with these Intel chips and on top of that, the price of the notebook isn’t hefty. This Acer machine offers a good amount of extras for the class.

You can choose between three 15.6″ 16:9 display options – two of them are 1080p variants – one IPS and one TN. Avoid the latter unless your budget is super tight. The top panel model is a 1440p display which isn’t something ordinary for this kind of price tag. That’s why we bought a laptop with the exact same display model to see if it’s a “light” version or not.

The notebook offers Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 (or optional Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2) which are up-to-date connectivity extras. Acer also claims a long battery life which can be possible given the efficient CPU platform.
